5.0 out of 5 stars
NOT a CD. This is #4 in the Print Series!, May 3, 2007
This review is from: The Shadow, No. 4: The Murder Master and The Hydra (Paperback)
This was a great book!
In the first story, the Shadow, who was first an announcer on the radio before appearing in print, is pitted against a master criminal who has the nerve to announce his murders on the radio, for the entire city to hear! After a string of successful murders pulled under the noses of the police, the muder master announces his next victim will be The Shadow!
In the second story, The Shadow, and the REAL Lamont Cranston team up against a gang who recruit two new members for every one cut off, just like the mythic Hydra! This story not only has Cranston and the Shaodw working together, but also has Margo Lane's first appearance in print! A long running member of the Shadow's team on the radio, she finally joined him on the printed page!
My honest opnion of this book is that it is a great double-header, especially since it shows the Shadow is only human, just incredibly dedicated and disciplined. A wounded Shadow who keeps trying even when the odds are against him is SO much more impressive than a superhero who can't be hurt.
And please ignore the review where the person reviews a CD collection. This ISBN is for the BOOK, not a CD collection of Old Time Radio shows.
Get it, you'll love it!
